Sense perception is the human ability to touch, taste, feel, hear and see. This sensory information is the primary way that we are able to acquaint with and better understand our external environment as it gathers substantial information about our surroundings and helps us make this information coherent. Our sense perception is vital in its purpose as its main objective is to help us humans interpret and make sense of the world. Our senses are involved in all of our daily actions and play a key…

Socrates method, Theory of Recollection, is practical but might not be optimal. Discovery of new knowledge happens by first hypothesizing on the subject at hand and then experimenting on that hypothesis. If that hypothesis is proven false then the hypothesis is revaluated…

The title provides the initial dose of irony (that continues throughout the poem) because of the combination of the word résumé and resume. The methodical catalogue of suicide methods, “Razors pain you; / Rivers are damp; / Acids stain you; / And drugs cause cramp. / Guns aren’t lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful,” provides an insight into the suicide considerations Parker goes through before her first suicide attempt (“Resumé”…

I had the opportunity to observe Mr. Billy Mitchell on Monday, February 8th, 2016 and for a short while again on Tuesday, February 9th. Mr. Mitchell is a teacher at the Joseph K. Lumsden (JKL) Bahweting Charter School located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Mr. Mitchell’s first grade classroom that I will be attending consists of 22 children from a rural community. The purpose of this observation was to observe children as they completed tasks related to science. I did not interact much during…

Gregory Bateson, an English anthropologist, once said “Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.” In a place and time where many individuals take the word of scientists as law, we must be careful to remember this fact. We cannot assume that because a teacher or scientist or uses the statement “science has proven” that they are unquestionably correct; it is our duty to teach this generation and the next that science is fallible and preserve…

Reading journal articles for my classes, I was fascinated by the challenges and problem-solving process of research in general. Since Cooper Union has limited resources for research as a small engineering college, I was delighted to learn of this opportunity. With such passion in research, I was able to have an independent study course in school with one of the biological engineering professors and researched the DNA synthesis process. As a member of an International Genetically Engineered…

structured, but how its played. So far, I’ve identified 3 levels of Game: principle based game, method based game, and routines/combinatorial game. The highest level being principle based, and decreasing by one level until combinatorial game. More generally these 3 levels are actually subsets of something more fundamental, inner game and outer game. Inner game being the principle based game, and outer being method and routines. Now the controversy lies in what you should focus on. Some argue…

“Contrast Lens” Have you ever wondered how, exactly, you measure changes in yourself and the people around you. By comparison of course, for without darkness, how can one measure the light. It is a very common practice, in fictional literature, for authors to use static characters in order to expose change in the protagonist. For example, in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde uses the characters of Lord Henry Wotton and Basil Hallward to measure Dorian’s descent into Henry’s hedonistic…

In my IB English class, we are studying Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, in which the main character, Gregor Samsa awakes one morning “from agitated dreams” and finds “himself, in his bed, transformed into a monstrous vermin” (Kafka 1). In the first pages, as Gregor contemplates his reformation personally before revealing himself to his family and boss outside his door, the fact that he has transformed into a bug remains known solely to himself, therefore existing as personal knowledge. In this…
